The province has completed over 60,000 coronavirus tests after three extensive testing days.

Chief medical officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw said the increases in positive cases is due to a backlog of swabs.

She said they are not showing a rapid increase in community spread.

Premier Jason Kenney said they will reveal what their provincial modelling of COVID-19 looks like early next week, but added that Alberta will have the health care equipment and supplies, including ventilators, to handle the virus.

Kenney also announced a “Bits and Pieces” program, a call to businesses and Albertans to do what they can to assist at this time.

With few exceptions, hospitals will no longer allow visitors for patients at this time, said Dr. Hinshaw.
